Ieferendum
Dntinued from Page 1
To bring an end to the run-off
ue, Howard said it was impor-
for this bill to be passed in
spring.
We need to clarify this so there
n’t be discrepancies year in and
ar out,” he said.
Tim Duffy, head yell leader and
ior marketing major, said al-
Diigh the yell leader constitution
tes there will be no run-off elec-
ns, he is rewriting the constitu
te include run-off elections.
The changes in the constitution
fer from the Senate bill. The con-
tution states that if one junior yell
ider candidate receives the ma
lty of the vote, then the next three
ndidates will proceed to a run-off.
wo senior yell leader candidates
elected by a majority of the vote,
en the next three candidates will
[oceed to a run-off.
Duffy said the constitution was
[itten this way because the can-
Jdates in the general election run
Dr a plurality of positions, not
me position.
"When people go into a mn-off,
ley need to nin as if they are running
H a plurality of positions,” he said.
Duffy said he has been working
Ith Curtis Childers, the student
j)ody president, and the yell leaders
ftnt to work with the Student Sen-
Iteonthis issue.
Since this was the first reading of
Be bill, only questions were allowed
on the floor.
In other business, the Senate
iected new committee chairs.
||| Josh Hennessey, a business sen-
Itor and a sophomore accounting
jmd finance major, was elected as
,lie Academic Affairs chair.
Mandy Gomez, an off-campus
|enator and a sophomore political
ience major, was elected as the
ternal Affairs chair.
Cass Burton, an off-campus sen
ior and a freshman political sci-

North Dakotans hope
dikes hold back floods
FARGO, N.dI Ktfjj-rr; Earthen
dikes meant to pxole.c.t North Dako
ta’s largest city from the worst flood
imaginable weren’t high enough
Thursday as the Red River climbed
to its highest level ever.
Water poured into streets and at
least six homes when portions of a
temporary clay dike surrounding a
school gave way in the evening.
There were no reports of injuries.
Elsewhere, crews topped off the
walls of the city’s permanent dikes
with sandbags in hopes of holding
back the water.
To the north, 1,000 people in
Grand Forks were told to evacuate
their homes after cracks were found

Krisanits said she sympathizes
?ith the parents and gives them
ilternative options.
“We ask is if they have trailers
Dr tents,” she said. “I know that a
lot of parents camp out at Lake
Somerville. Some people even
sleep in their cars.”
Joe Sanchez, a senior business
major, has eight family members
coming to town. He said he is
making last-minute preparations
and is excited they are coming be
cause some of them have never
seen the campus.
“I am cleaning up my apart
ment because I do not want
them to think I am always dirty,”
he said.

Gilbert said face-to-face inter
action is sometimes better than
on-line communication.
“If you do all of the work on-line,
you lose some of the richness,”
Gilbert said.
Dr. Colin Allen, a philosophy
professor at A&M, maintains a
Web site that provides grades, syl
labi and problem checkers for his
courses. Allen said the site also al
lows him to interact with his stu
dents through e-mail.

in a Red River dike.
In Fargo, an entire neighborhood
of 40 hqmes was evacuated when
another dike started to look weak.
After awhile, it seemed that the
sandbagging effort had paid off.
Fargo operations manager Den
nis Walaker expressed optimism.
The Red River at Fargo hit 39.12 feet
early Thursday, its highest level ever.
By noon, the river had risen to 39.39
feet, and was still expected to crest at
39.5 feet. Flood stage is 17 feet.
In Grand Forks, about 90
miles north of Fargo, the ques
tion was how much higher the
water would go and when it
would finally slow down.
“It gives them a channel to ask
questions in a way that’s not as in
timidating,” Allen said.
He said the Web site is an addi
tional tool students can use and
not a substitute for anything done
in the course. The A&M philoso
phy department is considering
holding exams and courses on the
Web, he said.
Tom Putnam, director of Com
puting and Information Services at
A&M, said there are many ways to
use a Web site for a course.
“How many ways are there to
use a pencil and paper?” Putnam
said. “Lots.”
